With MacBookAir early 2014,

using MiniDisplayPort (on MacBookAir) to DisplayPort (on monitor)

using this Kogan MiniDisplayPort to DisplayPort Male to male cable? https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/mini-displayport-displayport-cable-male-male-12m/

According to the answer here on stackexchange, I should be able to What's the max resolution for mini DisplayPort connected to a 2013 MacBook Air?

Yes. According to MacTracker.app:

External Resolution Up to 2560 by 1600 pixels.

Personally, I would connect the MBA to the Dell over HDMI, and get the highest quality MDP dongle. Apple used to sell its own, but now sells a Moshi Adaptor.

At my school, we use Belkin Adaptors sold on Amazon (at this particular point in time) with a 66% discount price.
